When we added the ability to choose a badge to show on your card I wanted to test it out for myself, so I created the badge and assigned it to my user card. The reason there’s no public badge pages for it is because I disabled it and didn’t check off the public pages for it. It might be a bug that it still shows up on my card, but I kind of like it like this

Now, the more interesting question: why a garbage bag?

@codinghorror remarked on our team visit to Toronto that I would say “Garbage” a lot. Like, “let’s eat at this pizza place because that other one is garbage!”

I’ve been told since that it’s a Torontonian (Canadian?) thing to say it so that probably explains why he thought it was so unusual. Anyway, since then we’ve run with it; many people on the team like to point out how “Garbage” something is. We even added an emoticon for it to our Slack chat channel.

When a badge uses an image vs a Font Awesome icon, it scales too large on the user card:

The same (scaling too large) happens for the User Card Badge setting on the user preference page:

I can affirm that. Not just for Torontonians but als Buffalonians and those in the surrounding areas.

I like to explain it how George Carlin differentiated between ‘stuff’ and ‘shit’. “Your stuff is shit and my shit is stuff.”
